The sound is old school.
Stephen Sanchez: “It is embedded in every lyric and sound that this record is, and so when we were recording it, you know, there were influences from the likes of Roy Orbison to you know, Frank Sinatra to Elvis, to Marty Robbins to Frankie Valli you know, James Brown, Marvin Gaye.”
Stephen says his music tells a story about how you can’t choose who you love.
Stephen Sanchez: “It is set from the years 1958 through 1964, highlighting the career of the fictional famous Crooner the Troubadour Sanchez, who falls madly in love with Evangeline, who happens to be the girlfriend of a mobster named Hunter.”
